Merry Christmas Eve to everyone! For the next few posts I thought it would fun to look back at some of the Christmas projects from years past. If you have been at my classes over the years, you may have made some of these. While many of the items used may no longer be available for sale, you may still have some of these products so if you see something that inspires you, pull out your supplies and craft away!

Hopefully you are almost ready for Christmas (although I still have lots to do!!), but as you put finishing touches on things, how about some cute tags for your gifts. Tags are quick and easy to make, but give your gift that little extra handmade touch to show you care.

The Christmas season is filled with sweet treats, and today I have another treat holder for you. This one will hold a box of Smarties, or a chocolate bar, and you can also put in a gift card if you like. We made these for teachers at a recent class, and everyone loved them!

Deck the halls with boughs of holly. And maybe decorate a card with holly while you are at it!! I love the holly image in the Christmas Gleaming stamp set. Actually I love the whole stamp set, and when you combine it with the coordinating dies and the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper, it is a real winner.

How true is this? Christmas often makes us think of family and friends, perhaps ones we haven’t seen for a while. These thoughts usually also bring to mind happy memories and times we have shared with the special people in our lives.

It’s a snowy day, and the forcast is for more snow over the next week, so I figured a snowy card was the way to go! There is a bit of a snowman theme going on at my blog, but who can resist, they are so cute!

The Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge is to create a project with our favourite holiday product. Are the kidding? Just one?? There are so many beautiful products in the Holiday Catalogue , so many fun products, easy and creative kits, and so much more, you can’t pick just one favourite. I did pick one of my favourites for my cards today though, and it is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful ones. My cards feature the Feels Like Frost Specialty 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

A couple of years ago I did a Christmas card class, and we made a card using the This Little Piggy stamp set. You can see the post from 2017 here.

A number of years ago I adoped the word BELIEVE as my word. It was a time of new beginnings for me, and it struck me that all I had to do was believe. Believe I could make a new start, believe that I could be successful. Believe that I . . . whatever I needed at any moment, it was there to support me at any given time. I have a number of items around my home to remind me of this. Plaques, mugs, framed art I have made, an engraved polished stone, whatever I have found and collected over the years. The stamp set Itty Bitty Christmas has a stamp that simply says ‘believe’ and I used it on my card today.

I know it is early spring, so I can’t even say I’m doing Christmas in July, but I do have a Christmas card for you today. I was playing with my Stamparatus, and wanted to use a stamp in a non-traditional way, and following my nose (or my stamps, ink and paper), I ended up at Christmas!
